The winners of this year's Lyttle Lytton contest are up! The Lyttle Lytton is a contest modeled on the famous Bulwer-Lytton bad opening sentence contest, but the Lyttle Lytton requires sentences to be 25 words or less and genuinely bad (a lot of B-L winners and runners up would probably be legitimately good openings to comic novels or self-consciously hardboiled pulp detective fiction).
This year's Lyttle Lytton winners aren't as funny as last year's (which gave us the all-time classic "Emperor Wu liked cake -- but not exploding cake!"), though there are some entertaining entries nevertheless:
This story is a murder mystery - the mystery of a murder.
